Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

The benefit of centralization of the blogosphere is presumably that someone would be able to do the sorting of information that is done by program directors at the local news radio station; this is explicitly antithetical to what we're doing. We make the trade-off between overkill and sorting and culling in the other direction; the centralized media sort and cull, but our (insofar as I feel a part of "us"; I don't think I'd be giggling, but maybe I'm just not fully into the culture yet) strength is in our variety; we discuss the things that get left out, and if it's not worthy, as my brother says, it gets less reported than it does otherwise. No problem there for me.
